F. R. PIERSON CO., TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON, N. Y. NOVELTIES IN CANNAS. Mrs. Kate Gray. -This is an extraordinarily grand canna in everj- way. Flowers are of gigantic size, measuring six inches in diameter.— much larger than Italia or any of the Italian varieties. The Italian varieties, in fact, are not to be compared with this variety in any way—size of flower, freedom of bloom, or substance.—the flowers of this variety lasting as well as almost any of our leading standard sorts. In color, the flowers are very brilliant, deep orange, round and full, and are thrown high above the foliage, making them very showy and effective. It is one of the most effective bedders we have. It is a very free bloomer, and bears a large number of flowers on each spike. It is also a very strong grower, and would be valuable on account of its beautiful and luxuriant foliage alone, which is tropical in its luxuriance, much resembling the Abyssinian Banana : but added to this are its gigantic flowere. borne in large clusters, towering on large flower spikes high above the foliage, and produced in the gi-eatest profusion. Notwith- standing its immense size, it is as free a bloomer as any of our best standard sorts. All who have seen it in our grounds the past summer unite in pronouncing it the finest thing in cannas sent out for a long time. The accompanying illustration, which is a photograph of a flower spike, does not give an adequate idea of its size, as it is impossible to reproduce its actual size in the limited space.
